About the game
Sounds Fishy isn't about always knowing the right answer — it's about being able to spot the fake ones. It's like a mix between The Chameleon and Balderdash. Sounds Fishy is the party game full of strange questions and even stranger answers. Pick up points by eliminating the fake answers that have been invented by the other players — but be careful! One of them has given you the real answer. Accidentally choose it and you’ll lose all your points and your turn. Think you can tell which answers sound fishy? You’ll need to think on your feet, get creative and push your luck to win the game where everyone has an answer for you.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Sounds Fishy is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Sounds Fishy for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Sounds Fishy has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
